Beschreibung

Erwin Rommel, the "Desert Fox," is one of the most iconic military commanders of World War II. His daring exploits in North Africa and his defense of Normandy against the Allied invasion have made him a legend. But who was the real Rommel? Was he a brilliant general or a ruthless war criminal?

This book explores Rommel's life and career in detail, examining his military campaigns, his leadership style, and his personal life. It also discusses the controversies surrounding his legacy and tries to understand why he remains such a fascinating figure to this day.

Rommel was born in 1891 in Heidenheim, Germany. He joined the German army in 1910 and served with distinction in World War I. After the war, he remained in the military and rose through the ranks. In 1940, he was given command of the Afrika Korps, a German expeditionary force sent to North Africa to aid the Italian army.

Rommel quickly proved to be a brilliant military commander. He led the Afrika Korps to a series of victories against the British, culminating in the capture of Tobruk in June 1942. Rommel's successes in North Africa made him a national hero in Germany and earned him the nickname "Desert Fox."

However, Rommel's luck eventually ran out. In October 1942, the British launched a massive offensive against the Afrika Korps at El Alamein. Rommel was forced to retreat and eventually evacuate his troops from North Africa.

In 1944, Rommel was given command of the German forces defending Normandy against the Allied invasion. He was tasked with holding the Allies at bay long enough for the Germans to build up their defenses in France. Rommel knew that the odds were stacked against him, but he was determined to do his duty.

The Allies landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Rommel's forces fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outgunned. After a month of fighting, Rommel was forced to retreat. The Allies liberated Paris in August 1944, and Rommel was dismissed from his command.

Rommel was implicated in the July 20 plot to assassinate Hitler, and he was forced to commit suicide in October 1944. He was 53 years old.

This book is the definitive biography of Erwin Rommel. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, World War II, or the life of one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century.

    The struggle over the fortified Confederate position known as Spotsylvania's Mule Shoe was without parallel during the Civil War. A Union assault that began at 4:30 A.M. on May 12, 1864, sparked brutal combat that lasted nearly twenty-four hours. By the time Grant's forces withdrew, some 55,000 men from Union and Confederate armies had been drawn into the fury, battling in torrential rain along the fieldworks at distances often less than the length of a rifle barrel. One Union private recalled the fighting as a "seething, bubbling, soaring hell of hate and murder." By the time Lee's troops established a new fortified line in the predawn hours of May 13, some 17,500 officers and men from both sides had been killed, wounded, or captured when the fighting ceased. The site of the most intense clashes became forever known as the Bloody Angle. 
     
     
     
    Here, renowned military historian Jeffry D. Wert draws on the personal narratives of Union and Confederate troops who survived the fight to offer a gripping story of Civil War combat at its most difficult. Wert's harrowing tale reminds us that the war's story, often told through its commanders and campaigns, truly belonged to the common soldier.

    The Wari Empire emerged as one of the most influential pre-Incan civilizations in the Andean region, setting the foundation for future Andean states, including the Inca. Its origins can be traced back to the highlands of present-day Peru, where early societies laid the groundwork for its rise. The unique combination of environmental adaptation, cultural influences, and political innovation allowed the Wari to establish a powerful state that would dominate much of the central Andes for centuries. 
    Before the Wari civilization took shape, the Andean region was home to various cultures that contributed to its development. Among these, the Chavín culture, which thrived from around 900 to 200 BCE, played a crucial role in spreading religious and artistic traditions that later influenced Wari art and iconography. The Nazca civilization, known for its intricate geoglyphs and advanced irrigation techniques, also left an imprint on Wari agricultural and engineering practices. However, it was the lesser-known Huarpa culture of the Ayacucho Valley that provided the most direct influence on early Wari society. The Huarpa people developed small-scale irrigation systems, terraced farming, and distinct ceramic styles, all of which became defining features of Wari civilization. 
    Sometime between 500 and 600 CE, the Wari began to expand beyond their heartland in the Ayacucho region. This expansion was driven by both environmental necessity and strategic ambition. The high-altitude valleys of the central Andes provided fertile land for agriculture, but they were also subject to fluctuating climatic conditions. To mitigate these challenges, Wari elites developed large-scale irrigation systems and storage facilities, ensuring food security for growing populations. This ability to manage resources effectively gave them an advantage over neighboring groups, allowing them to assert dominance through both diplomacy and military conquest.

    America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how the government and corporate America misuse our personal data and shows how we can reclaim our privacy. 
     
    Most Americans are worried about how companies like Facebook invade their privacy and harvest their data, but many people don't fully understand the details of how their information is being adapted and misused. In this thought-provoking and accessible book, New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals exactly how the government and corporations are tracking our every online move and using our data to buy elections, employ social control, and score and monetize our lives. 
     
    Hartmann uses extensive, vivid examples to highlight the consequences of Big Data on all aspects of our lives. Along with tracing the history of surveillance, he shows how we got to where we are today, how China-with its new Social Credit System-serves as a warning, and how we can and must avoid a similarly dystopian future. 
     
    By delving into the Constitutional right to privacy, Hartmann reminds us of our civil right and shows how we can restore it.
